Monday is notorious for being the hardest day of the week. Not today, though. Memorial Day is a special Monday where most of us can stay home from work and relax, and enjoy the blooming flowers and trees. This federal holiday was created in remembrance of those who gave their lives serving our country. Many also consider this day to be the unofficial start of summer. We hope you are enjoying your Monday holiday off from work and outdoors (weather-permitting), while enjoying a variety of local deals and sales.

In this spirit, we’ve created a huge Memorial Day membership deal that is valid only on May 27th. Today, you’ll get $27 off the normal price for an annual Urban Milwaukee membership: rather than $99 you can join today for just $72 for the entire year. By joining you’ll help support a local business that celebrates and writes about all things Milwaukee, while earning the chance to get free tickets and other freebees to various offerings.
